What is the keyboard shortcut for autocompleting/closing html tags?

And is this shortcut the same across all html editors?

Not all software dev programmes have auto close tags! most dev software is using package (Plugins) but the workstation will auto close your tags!

I'm using Sublime-text3 with some package like,

  • Emmet
  • AutoFillName
  • BracketHighLigher
  • ColorHighLigther
  • HTML/CSS/JS Prettify

I hope this helps you...

I'm sure not all editors are the same, but in my experience no keystroke was needed. Completing an open tag automatically caused the matching end tag to be entered and the cursor placed between them.
